Tonight’s experience was very enjoyable, it has been sometime that everything was perfect. From the friendly and personal greeting at the door, to our server Moses and finally to the working manager. I was observing his dedication to making this restaurant a place to want to come back to. It also reflected on the hostess as she was busy making sure the tables were clean and inviting. Great job to the evening crew that worked on March 2nd!!! Side note the music choice and volume was perfect too!

We went here because Texas Roadhouse, which is my go-to steakhouse, had an hour and a half wait time. The wait time was only 20 minutes. We were very impressed by all of the servers and guest staff. Our server was Chris S, who was phenomenal! Great personality, very friendly, and checked in on us constantly. We ordered the spinach parmesan dip as an appetizer and it was delicious. I had several different drinks and they were all delicious. One even came with a little crocodile on top that I got to keep which was really cool! Then came the entrees... I ordered the ribeye with shrimp with my steak RARE. My steak came out very tough and dry. Not a single drop of juice or blood from it. My girlfriend ordered hers medium rare and hers was more tender than mine. When I brought it up to the staff they offered me a new steak, but by that time, I had spent enough there and my girlfriend was almost done with her steak. So they did comp my meal, which was nice, but I would have rather had a good steak. I'm not sure if I'll go back if they can't cook a steak correctly the first time. The staff however was phenomenal.

I received a text message at 6:17 pm; the waitress told me the wait time was 30 to 45 minutes. She called many people who weren't there because they had already given up. Then I noticed people cutting in front of us; twice she justified this by saying it was because people had phone reservations. I waited until 7:30 pm because I noticed the phone reservation queue was endless. I left dissatisfied and without eating. Why not warn people that the waiting list was for two hours?

We came for my daughter's 18th Birthday and it was a Saturday night so there was a wait. They had a new hostess who the manager was helping a lot. That was great because even with a hiccup of calling us before others who should've been sat first, the manager helped it go smooth. We were a party of 7, I was able to get a call that our table was ready, because I asked and we went to a store to waste a little time. The food was great, as well as the drinks! The service was fantastic! I ordered a wallaby darned and she for the little koala duckie for my toddler and the waitress clearly searched for a pink one for her, it was a very thoughtful touch, that I appreciated. It was a very quiet atmosphere, where you can hear people at your table. I would recommend them, and I'd recommend taking the opportunity to order one of their to-go meals that you can either use for lunch the next day, or bring to someone... whatever you want to do with it, it's a meal, not leftovers.
